RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7.1 with all updates installed  

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect external monitor
2. place it "above" the internal one
3. set the "upper monitor" as primary
4. system tray is partially visible when it shouldn't (it's not hidden behind bottom panel)

* I'm using gnome-classic theme
* screenshots attached

This was fixed uptream in 3.13.2, so the RHEL 7.2 rebase should solve this already.

*** Bug 1227227 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Tested arch: x86_64

Tested version:
gnome-shell-3.14.4-26.el7.x86_64
gnome-shell-extension-window-list-3.14.4-12.el7.noarch

Results:
GNOME Classic used. The problem seems not to occur in this version. When displays are set as described and system tray is not invoked, there is no part of it displayed on the internal (secondary) monitor. So situation as shown on picture primary-up.png does not happen any more.
